FTX Receives Exchange and Clearing House Approval in Dubai

Crypto exchange FTX’s subsidiary FTX Exchange FZE received approval to enter the “Minimum Viable Product” (MVP) program operated by Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA), as per a July 29 comunicatul de presă.

The MVP approval allows FTX Exchange FZE to offer regulated crypto derivatives products and trading services to institutional investors. Also, allowing FTX to act as a clearing house, operate an NFT marketplace, and provide custodial services for only a specific class of consumers.

FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried commented on the license approval as a landmark achievement for the firm. FTX FZE Exchange will provide services under regulatory oversight and mandatory FATF compliance.

“This would not have been possible without the progressive business environment in Dubai, the thorough and trustworthy regulatory guidelines provided by VARA, and the outstanding support from their team.”
